In 2009 I had a book on the financial crisis
spend ten weeks on the New York Times bestseller list -- and then never come out in paperback.
Evidently the hardback sold well enough that the publisher decided it wasn't in a hurry to produce a paperback edition.
I had written it in a month, since the publisher said mine had to
be the first book on the crisis if I expected to get any traction.
A horrible ordeal.
But an amazing result.
Well, I'm happy to announce that a tenth-anniversary edition of Meltdown
is about to be released...in paperback.
My publisher was so helpful to me: I did some good television, a ton of radio, and some print interviews, and I promoted the book at a whole bunch of events.
In general, though: publishers suck a lot of your revenue, and don't do much for you (except prestige,
which I grant).
That's why I, and lots of other people, have turned to self-publishing: you get to keep a lot more of the moolah.
The one problem: there's a learning curve, and a lot to keep straight: cover design, editing, interior, marketing, distribution, etc.
You can spend 500 years mastering it all, and then hating your whole project, or you can get a little help and enjoy your life.
Plus, the checklists and videos I'm recommending come with the right to resell them as your own product.
Seems like there should be a catch, but there isn't.
Except that the price goes up by 60% tomorrow night.
